Abstract

I first heard of Ed Deevey in 1950, when I was a beginning Ph.D. student at Yale. I came from a three-person biology department whose minuscule library did not include the American Journal of Science, in which Ed had published his most important work. I had, however, been poking around the lakes and bogs of Nova Scotia for five years and was full of half-formed ideas about paleolimnology, climatic change, and the relevance of past climate to the modern distribution of plants and animals. I was chagrined to find a man I had never heard of, an American at that, who’d had all the same ideas ten years before, formulated them more clearly and carried out the work with an ingenuity and completeness beyond my aspirations. For a few weeks I was afraid to read another Deevey paper, and when the man himself returned from Yucatan I became his first graduate student.
